Chapter 1450: Great sorrow without tears, great joy without sound
Nianwei Hospital.
B-ultrasound examination room on the second floor.
Qin Cuilian sat on the bench in the corridor with a nervous and apprehensive look on her face, her hands twisted together and her face as red as a red tomato.
She lowered her head to her chest, but her eyes were always stealing glances at the female comrade sitting next to her who had the same goal as her, and embarrassment flashed across her face from time to time.
Almost all of them, men and women, were in their twenties, without exception.
There were only herself and Xu Damao, who were quite old, in their forties, wearing plain gray-blue shirts. The color was not bright at all, but they were particularly eye-catching in the crowd and did not fit in with the young and beautiful people around them.
"Cui Lian, drink some water! Be careful of the heat, blow on it!"
Soon a water cup with a scald-proof ring woven with wool on the outside of the bottle was handed over. Qin Cuilian raised her head and saw her husband Xu Damao's anxious face.
"Their hospital also has a hot water station. I just got some. I waited in line for a while!" Xu Damao explained with excitement and curiosity on his face.
Qin Cuilian took the cup of water silently. She could feel many strange eyes on her and her husband. She put the back of her hand against her cheek and felt it was very hot, almost the same temperature as the cup in her hand.
Those waiting outside the B-ultrasound room were all female comrades who were undergoing reproductive examinations. They naturally knew what the people around them were doing.
She knew that going for a gynecological checkup at such an old age would not only arouse other people's curiosity, but would also be viewed with contempt for her infertility.
She opened the lid of the water cup and drank the water to hide her embarrassment.
"No. 13 Liu Jifen, No. 13 Liu Jifen, come in!"
A nurse opened the door of the examination room and called out, and someone stood up and walked in accompanied by her husband.
Qin Cuilian raised her head and glanced at the door, and saw Xu Damao sticking his head looking inside. His face was full of curiosity and hope.
"Comrade, don't look around and pay attention to other people's privacy!" the nurse reminded.
"I know, I know!" Xu Damao nodded quickly and apologized, then took the initiative to close the door gently.
Qin Cuilian saw that he was so cautious with his smile on his face, and he looked just like an elementary school student who had made a mistake in front of his parents in the yard.
She saw him waiting at the door, as if he was afraid that he had missed his number.
She saw him standing on tiptoe with his head pressed against the door to listen to the noise inside. The forty-year-old man was as playful as a child.
She saw him nervously move to the bench by the door and sit down, then jump away immediately when the examiner came out, happily helping to call the next patient, and then sit down hurriedly again, shaking his legs to hide his uncontrollable nervousness.
She also saw him sometimes stand up and look into the back of the corridor, or run to the stairs and look up, or pace back and forth nearby.
She looked at the man and seemed to have experienced all the embarrassments of her life today.
Her heart suddenly softened.
She recalled the more than ten years since she had been married to Xu Damao, a journey of ups and downs, quarrels, verbal abuse, and even fights. But along the way, this careless, chauvinistic man seemed to speak more and more quietly in front of her.
There are slightly gray hairs on his temples and some wrinkles on his face. When he rides his bike to take himself on long journeys, he will take a rest in the middle of the journey.
She saw a patch on his knee, but she couldn't remember whether she had sewn it.
So she stared at her husband's patch for so long that she became distracted and began to count the unfamiliar stitches.
Finally Qin Cuilian confirmed it.
The patch was sewed by my husband himself.
She looked down at her husband's cloth shoes again. There was a thick layer of patches on the toes, but it was a pattern she had never seen before.
He also learned from his past experience and did it stitch by stitch himself.
Qin Cuilian raised her head and looked at the figure whom she hadn't noticed for some time, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat.
She began to feel a little sorry for her husband.
As we've gotten older, the quarrels have become more frequent.
She suddenly summed up and found that all the points radiated from one child.
To the point that by the end of the argument, she felt that her feelings for Damao had long since faded, were gone, eliminated, and exhausted.
But Xu Damao's love for him didn't seem to diminish because of his blame.
Just like the cup of tea in your hand.
Only when you hold it in the palm of your hand can you feel its heat.
The ups and downs of life are like drinking the water, only you know how hot or cold it is.
My husband, doesn’t he just want to have a child with me?
At the beginning, he expressed his love madly and passionately, and just like these years of pursuing the storm of love, it came.
What did he do wrong?
If he were sick, it would not be what he wanted.
"Big hair!"
Qin Cuilian pursed her lips, and turned the heartache that surged in her throat into a call. She stretched out her hand and waved to her husband.
"Hey!" Xu Damao didn't notice the change in his wife's tone. He agreed and ran quickly from the door.
Seeing that there were no stools around, he squatted in front of his wife, raised his head, held her hand, and asked carefully: "Are you hungry or something? Is the water too hot?"
Listening to his flattering tone, which was lowering himself to a lower level, Qin Cuilian's eyes became moist.
It shouldn't be like this!
Husband and wife should be equal.
There is no need to be so cautious when speaking, fearing to offend the other person.
You need to be sincere, open-minded, and dignified.
"I don't need you to do anything! You are so old, just sit for a while! You have been busy all morning!" Qin Cui Lian said this gently and looked around.
A young man standing nearby immediately stood up and said, "Brother, please sit down!"
But Xu Damao was completely shocked. He squatted on the ground blankly, looking at Qin Cuilian, as if he met her for the first time, and did not hear anything.
"Big brother?"
"..." Xu Damao turned his head and heard the voice of "Sit down" and hurriedly said, "Thank you, thank you!"
He was stunned and turned to look at his wife.
Suddenly I noticed that there was something flickering in Qin Cuilian's eyes today. That look was very familiar, as if I hadn't seen it for many, many years.
"What are you looking at?" Qin Cuilian asked softly.
"No...no..." Xu Damao still shook his head cautiously. He seemed not very good at expressing his emotions. He turned his head to look at the stairs and said, "Why hasn't Doctor Li come down yet..."
"Big hair!"
Qin Cuilian suddenly called him again.
"Hey!" Xu Damao agreed subconsciously, and suddenly found an extra hand on his palm. He looked down and found it was his wife Qin Cuilian's hand.
"You've worked hard these years! No matter what the result is today, I accept it! Without children, we can live the rest of our lives steadily as a couple. I'll be with you!"
Xu Damao was shocked.
He heard his wife Qin Cuilian make this almost explicit confession in front of the men and women in the corridor without any hesitation, just like when he took her to get the marriage certificate.
At that time, she was as gentle as she is today.
Great sorrow brings no tears, great joy brings no sound.
Xu Damao just looked at Qin Cuilian, tears flowing silently on his face.
"Why are you crying?" Qin Cuilian raised her hand to wipe away her husband's tears and asked with a smile: "How ugly, there are so many people!"
Xu Damao grabbed the hands he had held for more than ten years.
"I support Dr. Li so much in the hospital and I love him because he is the only one who treats me as a human being and has never disrespected me!"
"Cui Lian, I am very happy today. Finally, there is another person in this world who treats me as a human being!"
"I am very glad, indeed!"
Qin Cuilian's heart also trembled. She raised her hand to wipe away her husband's tears and pulled him up.
"Don't cry. I believe there will be a third and a fourth one in the future... They are your children! Come on, it's our turn, let's go in!"
